an image onto a surface as seen through the screen.
Features:
- Plain Level –
Standard overlays used for most leveling applications
- Tilt Level –
Rotatable overlays used for dynamic angle measurements
- Protractor –
Semicircular tool for measuring angles
- Calibration –
Adjust for slight variations in iPhone manufacturing
- Info – Demo screen plus
brief instructions for each of the tools listed above
Calibrated iBall uses the camera in conjunction with the accelerometer
in your iPhone in a unique new way. Calibrated iBall goes beyond
simple levels available on the app store, replaces your old manual
bubble level. Our app superimposes user selectable overlays on
the camera view (see screenshots) allowing you to look through the
overlay at the image beyond the camera to see what you want to
level. The overlay floats in the camera viewfinder, always
staying level, no matter how much you rotate the iPhone. You
don’t have to hold the iPhone level, you just have to look through the
camera and the overlay stays level on its own.
Is that picture on the wall level? Is the door plumb? Are
the curtains straight? Do the three pictures you just hung line
up with each other? How about those pictures going up the stairs,
are they in line with the stairs or were they hung at a funny
angle? Don't trust your eye, put an end to the argument by
purchasing Calibrated iBall.
Don't bother getting out the laser level, you have to hang it on the
wall, make sure it's at the right height but not in the way, etc. too
much bother. With Calibrated iBall, hang the picture where you
want it, stand back and look through your iPhone’s camera to level the
picture. Piece of cake.
Use the protractor feature to figure out the pitch of your roof.
This can be useful for things as simple as providing it to a roofer or
insurance adjuster for an estimate or providing it to an architect when
discussing an addition or thinking about adding a skylight.
Check whether the deck you’re installing is pitched correctly away from
the house.
Look over a row of hedges you just trimmed to see if it's level and
even.
Are the countertops and cabinets level, are the windows and doors
plumb? Are you a Real estate agent, carpenter, landscape
professional, home inspector or simply a neat freak. Do you
suffer from OCD requiring everything be symmetrical arranged? If
you answered yes, you need Calibrated iBall. Get a quick survey
of all sorts of things.
